I designed the Arduino Runtime board. The idea is to have a standalone Arduino, but in a PCB format, so I don't need to wire all the cables in the breadboard or proto PCB board every time I need to deploy a project.
Description:
- Size: It is just 62 x 39 mm
- It uses a ceramic resonator, instead of a crystal (same 16 MHz)
- Digital I/O pin is breadboard friendly and I added a +5V pin in the same row
- I added plenty of Ground pins
- ISP or ICSP port
- Optional power supply circuit, with DC input jack (actually, except for the ATMEGA8/168, one 0.1uF cap, one 10k resistor, a couple of header pins and the ceramic resonator, the rest of the components are optional).
- Eagle files published (coming soon in another post)
- Low cost
- Tested (one of the pictures show the Arduino Runtime Board running the Knight Rider 3 in a bread board)
